Against The Sky Supreme

Against The Sky Supreme unfolds in a cosmos split into two antagonistic realms, an inner universe and a hostile outer one. Demonic powers dominate the outer reaches, while the inner universe is organized into a Realm of gods, the Eternal Realm, and the Mortal Realm. Scattered inside are countless worlds like the Tianfa Continent, collectively known as the Jiutian Xin Region, where nine immortal emperors command star fields across nine layered tiers. Above those tiers sits a purification plane reserved for immortal deities. The show sets up a broad conflict among gods, emperors, and mortals, and it teases deeper mysteries without resolving them early on.
